Kubota M6-122: Kubota M6 Tractor Front Axle Recall

Kubota is recalling 157 M6-122, M6-132, and M6-142 tractors because cracks that formed during manufacturing of the front axle may cause it to break during normal use, potentially leading to front wheel detachment or steering problems. Owners should check their axle stamp to determine if their tractor is affected. If necessary, both front axles will be replaced.
